NYM @ ATL
Home plate: Alfonso Márquez
“Tonight's zone had a rooting interest.”
What this shows — how Alfonso Márquez called the 174 pitches that were taken (no swing), graded against the tracked rulebook strike zone. He got 160 right. Below, only his misses are plotted, alongside every pitch the ABS (Automated Ball-Strike System) reviewed on a challenge.

Run impact from the count run-value table: a missed strike three is worth far more than one on 3-0.
ABS — the Automated Ball-Strike System
4 pitches went to the robots · 0 overturned (ump overruled) · 4 upheld (ump confirmed). This is the ABS system’s own measurement — Hawk-Eye optical ball-tracking, not our model.
- 1Joey Bart — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 2Francisco Alvarez — ump said ball, robot ruled ball: upheld.
- 3Mark Vientos — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
- 4Jorge Mateo — ump said strike, robot ruled strike: upheld.
Our tracked-rulebook zone matched the ABS ruling on 3 of 4 — a zone-definition gap (ABS grades a standardized, height-based zone), not our error.
